Mass Effect 2 Lead Gameplay Designer Joins Riot Games

Posted July 12, 2011 by Ben Strauss

The lead gameplay designer for Mass Effect 2 will be joining Riot Games.  Christina Norman, who had previously announced her departure from BioWare last week, has confirmed via Twitter that she has moved in with Riot Games.

 "I'm looking forward to working with Riot on innovative new approaches to game design and game development in the rapidly-changing video game market," Norman told Gamasutra.

BioWare has already confirmed that Preston Watamaniuk will take her place; he is formerly the Mass Effect series lead designer.

Riot Games is the developer behind the popular free-to-play title League of Legends.  The company was recently acquired by Chinese-based Tencent.
